S. Alan Phelps is a Utah author drawn to the cobwebbed corners of the imagination, where cosmic strangeness meets occasional whimsy. Influenced by writers from Poe, Lovecraft, and Blackwood to Ligotti, VanderMeer, and Gaiman, he favors artful horror that leaves room for wonder.
His stories for children make space for honest encounters with fear, inviting young readers to explore the unfamiliar with curiosity, courage, and a little laughter.
Away from writing, he enjoys backpacking, watching an MLS match, and attempting to play the acoustic guitar.
